Weely Fraser Valley Sport Fishing Column

Fishing report for April 13 to 20, 2009

Two more books were released in 1993: "Trout Tales and Salmon Stories," by W A MacDonald and "Totem Topics," by Ron Grantham. The latter book was a limited edition collection of fly fishing stories written by members of the Totem Fly Fishers, in remembrance of their first twenty five years.

1994 saw eight books on our provincial sport fishery: "The Ardent Angler," by Rod Bell-Irving. "The Living Rivers of British Columbia," Gordon Davies. "Adam's River," by Mark Hume. "Island Angler's Guide," by Dave Wiwchar and Anderw Kolasinski. "Salmon of the Pacific," by Adam Lewis. "British Columbia Salmon," by Pamela McColl. "Kamloops," by Steve Raymond. This addition of Raymond's book is a full color revision of his prized 1980 work. "Thompson River Journal," by Arthur James Lingren. Lingren's book on the Thompson River is classic work on the history and beauty of this famous river.

In 1995 there were five books released: "Salmon To A Fly," Jim Crawford. "The Art & Science of Speyfishing," by Mike Maxwell. "Steelhead," by Barry Thornton. "Saltwater Fly Fishing for Pacific Salmon," by Barry Thornton. "The Last Cast," by radio and environmental personality Rafe Mair.

Also in 1995; the man I often refer to as the patriarch of our local youth based fly fishing clubs, Reg Cichos, began his youth fly fishing club at Arch Bishop High School in Port Coquitlam. Fourteen years later this soft spoken mentor is still introducing generations of kids to this great sport.
